1. Bricolage
 Also known as DIY (Do-It-Yourself), are some of the terms describing the
building, modifying, or repairing things without the direct aid of experts or
professionals. DIY is defined as behaviors where individuals engage raw and
semi-raw materials and parts to produce, transform, or reconstruct material
possessions, including those drawn from the natural environment.
 Examples of Bricolage are:
o Landscaping refers to any activity that modifies the visible features of an
area of land.
o Pottery is the process and the products of forming vessels and other
objects with clay and other ceramic materials, which are fired at high
temperatures to give them a hard, durable form.
2. Games
 Any structured form of play could become a game. Games are played sometimes
purely for recreation, sometimes for achievement or monetary rewards as well.
 Example of Games:
o Board games are traditionally a subset of tabletop games that involve
counters or pieces moved or placed on a pre-marked surface or "board",
according to a set of rules.
o A puzzle is a game, problem, or toy that tests a person's ingenuity or
knowledge. In a puzzle, the solver is expected to put pieces together in a
logical way, in order to arrive at the correct or fun solution of the puzzle.
